GAGE FOR SAWS.

Application filed November 3, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIVERT BUSKALA, citizen of the United States,residing at Shine, in the county of Jefferson and State of l/Vashington,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gages for Saws; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and eXactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures ofreference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in raker gages forsaws and comprises various details of construction, combinations andarrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shownin the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in theappended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a view showing the application of the device as a leveler.Fig. 2 is a view showing the tool reversed and applied to the teeth as araker gage. Fig. 3 isan enlarged detail sectional view through thedevice. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the face.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a plate having a lateral handle B projecting from one faceand the opposite face is provided with a central beveled projection D,shown clearly in the enlarged detail sectional view, and which latter isused for a raker gage. 7 i

In applying the tool for use as a level and as illustrated in Fig. 1,the surface of the plate from which the handle projects is applied tothe ends ofthe teeth as shown and which will serve as a gage todetermine the proper length of the beveled teeth, it being Specificationof Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 8, 1916.

Serial No. 59,407.

understood that the saw is adapted to be jointed from the center towardthe end and, by the use of the tool, it will not be necessary to run thesurface over the entire length of the teeth.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings, the reverse side of the tool is utilized as araker gage, the highest or thickest portion of the beveled projectionbeing held toward the center of the saw at all times in the use of thetool.

It will be noted that the beveled projection is provided with crossmarks, designated by letters E, F, G, and H, spaced apart and serving asgages for different types of saws, thus affording means for determiningthe proper length of rakers without adjustment, that is for adapting thesaws for cutting various kinds of timber. Beginning at the lower or thinend of the beveled projection the first section is for adapting the sawsfor felling purposes, the second section for light saws for hard timber,the third section for medium weight saws while the fourth section is forheavy saws for use on soft timber. By holding the thick or projectingend of the beveled gage toward the center of the saw, the front side orhalf of the raker tooth should rest in the section required for aparticular type of saw for the use specified.

What I claim to be new is A combined raker saw gage and saw toothalining device, the same comprising a plate having a handle projectingtherefrom, one side of the plate being flat and the opposite side havinga centrally disposed longitudinally inclined elevated portion providedwith transverse division marks.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

SIVERT BUSKALA.
